In my opinion nine times out of ten, unless a website is stretched to fill the whole window, it looks better centered. I also think the ads should be down the right hand side. Those are really the two major things for me (also the quick reply box still needs to be grey to suit the rest of the site.

Frankly, I can't see a good reason for using XHTML anyway, given that IE doesn't support the correct MIME type. It's just asking for headaches Unless you need to incorporate another markup module such as MathML, XHTML currently does nothing better than HTML.

I use good old HTML 4.01. It doesn't have that sexy "X" in front, but in all other respects it works just as well.

I was wondering about that myself a long while ago but one of the really important features of XHTML is the 'portability' of the code, making it readable in all standard devices.

Either way, XHTML does have some advantages - the most important being that people would care to code it properly albeit a little stricter and possibly lengthier eg. target="_blank" getting depreciated.

So in this case, neither you and I were wrong - it's just the browser being improperly programmed to parse the code. I just happened to stumble upon XHTML when the boss asked me to redesign the company's webpage.

Don't get me started on IE's CSS support.

Still, would look pretty sexy on a website as much as the ISO series are on an industrial brochure and namecard, yes?
